But then, you paid for it so you figure it’s worth keeping around. In fact, there are things in your home that you might think look good, but if you were to ask anyone, they would reluctantly disagree. There is no use denying it, you don’t always have good taste when it comes to home decor. The coffee table in the family room is a good example.

Like we stated earlier, we all have ugly things in our homes. But some of these things are necessary, they serve a purpose or have a function.

Cords

There are any number of cords in your home that are needed, but certainly unsightly. One solution is to just buy a few more Oriental rugs and toss them over the cords. A more practical option is to hide cords under wall posters or behind furniture. Cords used to charge electronic devices can be cleverly hidden in desk drawers or in decorative boxes. In fact, there are a

In fact, there are any number of creative ways you can hide ugly cords. But if you aren’t a creative person, there are cord solutions at your local hardware store.

Cable Boxes and Routers

In our age of technology, there are any number of electronic devices plugged in around the home, like cable boxes and routers. While we would simply die without wifi or cable, the boxes themselves aren’t all that aesthetically pleasing. And covering them with Oriental rugs isn’t practical because they are too big.

The easiest way to hide your cable and internet equipment is by taking a trip to your nearest Ikea. Seriously, they have some real cool stuff there you can use to hide your equipment.

Actually, you can use the shell of a hardcover book to hide both routers and cable boxes. Those fake rock domes you use to hide things in your yard work as well.

Better Decisions

As for all the other ugly items in your home, we suggest you start making better decisions when shopping. If you can’t do this, either hand over the decor shopping duties to another family member or seek treatment.

There is a silver lining, you have some really nice Oriental rugs, so that shows you do have good taste. But if they are dirty or need to be repaired, give us a call.

A thicker pile isn’t always better.

Don’t equate thick pile with quality. Some of the highest quality rugs you’ll see will be quite thin. The key is understanding what kind of rug should go where. For instance, an expensive, thin-pile rug will suffer in a high-traffic area. Get a rug with some thick toughness if it’s going to need to stand up to consistent wear and tear.

Understand pile height.

If you aren’t sure which pile height is which, here is a helpful guide:

Low: less than ¼”

Medium: ¼” to ½”

Long/Plush: ½” to ¾”

Some shag piles go even longer than this, but we hope this guide helps you feel a bit more familiar with the concept of pile.

A shorter pile is a stronger pile.

A rug with shorter pile will last longer than a rug with long pile. Why? Because short pile is both easier to vacuum and less susceptible to damage.

Furniture will have an impact on the pile.

The longer the pile of your rug, the more vulnerable it is to being crushed by the feet and bases of furniture. All furniture generally leaves some sort of indentation on carpeting, but if you have a rug you treasure for softness, you might want to keep it out from under your furniture.

Long pile rugs must be cleaned with care.

Your vacuum can catch the pile on shag and long-pile rugs, causing damage. Be careful when you clean your rugs (better yet, let us do it).
